Nanoporous crystals of calixarene/porphyrin supramolecular complex functionalized by diffusion and coordination of metal ions

J Am Chem Soc. 2009 Feb 25;131(7):2487-9. doi: 10.1021/ja808850d.

Abstract

A highly nanoporous material has been obtained by self-assembly of calixarene and porphyrin building blocks. This supramolecular zeolite-like structure was successively functionalized by diffusion and coordination of metal ions to form a new bifunctionalized nanoporous material containing a porphyrinic pigment together with a metal center.
